Aquerò was there again and Bernadette repeated the question that the parish priest had suggested to her: “Miss, would you be so kind to tell me who you are, please?”. Aquerò continued to smile in silence, but Bernadette insisted this time. Then, raising her eyes to heaven and joining her arms at the height of her breast she replied: “Que soy era Immaculada Councepciou/I am the Immaculate Conception”. This revelation happened precisely on the day when the Church recalls, on the feast of the annunciation, the greeting of the Angel to Mary: Hail Full of Grace, which means Full of God. What an extraordinary gift is Grace, which refers above all to the Uncreated Grace which is God himself. For baptism all Christians receive Uncreated Grace becoming thus the temple of God. Amazing Grace used to sing John Newton after being turned from a cruel slave-trader into a Son of God ... Amazing grace that saved a wretch like me ... I was lost, but now I am found, I was blind, but now I see. Amazing Grace, we sing because for the mercy of God and the intercession of the Immaculate Conception, we also hope to be, one day, immaculate, in Heaven,
